Main Sources of Big Data


Big data itself is an extremely large data sets that may be analyzed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and associations, especially relating to human behavior and interactions. Big data is also a term that describes the large volume of data – both structured and unstructured – that inundates a business on a day-to-day basis. By using big data, various organization can generate actionable insights that enable them to drive their business forward. Data sets grow rapidly, because they are gathered by numerous devices such as mobile phone, cameras, microphones, wireless sensor networks, etc. 


Big data also have various sources. I’ve put together the main five sources of big data and explain them one by one in short explanation.
  1. Media
    Media is number one and most popular source of big data, since media can provide valuable insights. Media is also the fastest way for businesses to get in depth overview of their target audience. Media includes social media and any other interactive platform such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, etc.
  2. Cloud
    Nowadays, various company tend to store their data on the cloud, shifting from traditional way. The reason company move to store their data on the cloud is because of its flexibility and scalability. Big data can be stored on public or private clouds.
  3. The Web
    All of the data on the web or ‘internet’ is commonly available to individuals an companies alike. The enormity of the web ensures for its diverse usability.
  4. IoT
    Internet of things is the extension of internet connectivity into physical devices and objects. The sourcing capacity depends on the ability of the sensors to provide real-time accurate information. With the existence of IoT, data now can be sourced from medical devices, video games, cameras, household appliances, etc.
  5. Databases
    Database can provide the extraction of insights that are used to drive business profit. The process of extracting and analyzing data is a complex process and usually can be frustrating and also time-consuming.

RFM in Business Strategy

RFM Analysis For Successful Customer Segmentation Analysis RFM in Big Data RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) analysis is a proven marketing model for behavior based customer segmentation. It groups customers based on their transaction history – how recently, how often and how much did they buy. RFM helps divide customers into various categories or clusters to identify customers who are more likely to respond to promotions and also for future personalization services. RFM analysis evaluates which customers are of highest and lowest value to an organization based on purchase recency, frequency, and monetary value, in order to reasonably predict which customers are more likely to make purchases again in the future. What are Recency, Frequency and Monetary? ·         Recency      : How much time has elapsed since a customer’s last activity or transaction with the brand. ·     ...

Artifical Neural Network

Artificial Neural Network  is a computational model based on the structure and functions of biological neural networks. Information that flows through the network affects the  a neural network changes or learns, based on that input and output. So the point is  to create a computational system that could solve problems like a human brain. The Neural Networks was founded by  Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts in 1943. Then it was upgraded with AI (Artificial Intelligence) in 1975 by Kunijiko Fukushima called Artificial Neural Network (ANN) .   Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts Today  Neural Networks are important in information age, because help society to solve complex problems in real life condition. They can learn from model the relationships between inputs and outputs that are nonlinear and complex; make generalizations and inferences; reveal hidden relationships, patterns and predictions (such as financial time series data) and varianc...

Categories and Types of Artificial Intelligence

AI has 2 categories namely weak or strong. Weak AI also known as narrow AI. Weak AI is an AI system designed and trained for certain tasks. Weak AI can be a virtual personal assistant, like Apple Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, and Google Home. While strong AI, also known as general artificial intelligence, is an AI system with general human cognitive abilities. When a special task is presented, a strong AI system can find its own solution without human intervention. S trong AI acts more like a brain. It does not classify, but uses clustering and association to process data. In short, it means there isn’t a set answer to your keywords.  Beside that, an assistant professor of integrative biology and computer science engineering at Michigan State University, Arend Hintze, categorizes AI into 4 types, ranging from existing AI systems to AI systems that are still in design. The categories are as follows: Reactive machine. An example is Deep Blue, the IBM chess program that defeated Garr...
